Simagic GT4

Simagic's cheaper GT-style rim, aimed at buyers pairing it with an EVO Sport or EVO. It covers the basics well but has fewer premium touches than the GT Neo.

Pros and cons
- Low entry price for a Simagic QR rim
- Compact GT shape suits GT3 and touring cars
- Light weight keeps force feedback lively on a 9 Nm base
- Fewer controls and less premium materials than the GT Neo
- Tied to the Simagic quick release
Watch out: Check which Simagic bases it supports wirelessly versus by cable before ordering.
What it feels like
- Grip
- Weight
- Clickiness
- Reach
The silicone rim gives a firm, tacky hold, and the 300 mm size suits a GT-car feel.
The carbon paddles are magnetic and should give a crisp action, with a separate pair for the dual clutch.
There are plenty of buttons, switches and rotaries, so most settings stay within thumb reach.
About the size and heft of a real GT-car steering wheel, so it feels large rather than like a small F1 rim.
What the GT4 works with
- Attaches with the Simagic quick release, so it fits bases that use the same system.
- With the right base it works on PC.

Our take
AI analysis of public information, not a hands-on review.
The GT4 is Simagic's mid-range GT-style wheel, built around an aluminum base, a carbon-fiber plate and carbon magnetic paddles. Retailer listings describe a 300 mm rim, a silicone grip, dual-clutch paddles, two 4-way switches, two rotary encoders and eight programmable RGB buttons. It weighs roughly 1.3 kg. That is a lot of controls for GT3 or GT4 driving, where you need the brake bias, traction control and ABS within reach without taking your hands off the rim. It uses a quick-release system and a USB cable. Simagic says it works best on its own Alpha-series bases, and it can be adapted to other bases with a different quick release. If you are not buying a Simagic base, check the hub and adapter situation first, because that is where the extra cost tends to come from. It is PC only, so it is a poor fit for a console-first rig. The price is also uncertain. Listings we found were around $365 on sale at a European webshop, and we could not confirm a US price or Amazon availability. It is aimed at someone who already has, or is buying, a Simagic base.
Questions buyers ask
Will the GT4 work with my non-Simagic wheel base?
Possibly. Retailers say it attaches to other brands' bases through a USB cable and an alternative quick-release mounting. You will likely need a matching adapter or hub, so check this before buying.
Does it work on PlayStation or Xbox?
No. It is a PC device that connects over USB, and we found no console support.
How big is it and what is the grip made of?
Retailers list about 300 mm in diameter and roughly 1.3 kg, with a silicone grip. That conflicts with the 290 mm and alcantara in the dataset, so check the official page before buying.
